Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add salt, sugar and coconut and cubed cold butter. Rub butter into flour until it get crumbly. Add egg yolks (all egg whites keep for the filling) and knead the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into 2 parts (the part that goes to the bottom should be slightly bigger). Wrap in foil and place in fridge for at least 1 hour.

Filling:

Preheat the oven to 170 º C. Mix cheese with 315 g of sugar, orange peel and coconut. Add one egg yolk while still whisking. Mix in cooled melted butter and pudding powder. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and 70 grams of sugar until very stiff. Stir white eggs gently with a spatula into the cheese mixture.

Grate the bigger part of the dough onto the bottom of the cake pan. Lightly press it with your hands. Pour the cheese filling. On top grate the rest of the dough. Bake for approximately 1 hour. Cool in the oven.

About me

Agnieszka, Polish-born, living on Portuguese Atlantic coast for 10 years. I have been blogging in Polish since 2006. Answering many requests from my non-Polish speaking friends I decided to start a food blog in English. I love to cook, travel and read, not necessarily in this order. I'm foodie to the bone: I like discovering new flavours, I'm fond of culinary travels and visiting interesting restaurants, but most of all I love to create new dishes in my own Atlantic kitchen.
